I trained at this gym yesterday with Kim, it took hours of driving around to find it, but luckly the bike is fun and easy, one of the best condision of bikes i've rented in thailand so far.
finaly after driving in circles some cute young kids hopeed on there scooter and had us fowwlow them to the place.
it was a fair size gym, with two rings, a bunch of bags, but no mats anywhere... whats up with that.. who wants to skip rope on cement? well i tryed for a bit and it sucked so i just jumped on a tire for a bit to get warmed up.
i felt quite silly in my size too small boxing shorts and no shirt when everyone ease had a shirt on, but what ever..
odd thing about the camp, tons of whitre people, almost all white people! so weird, but there was a white owner so i gues it makes sence.
we got a free set of thai wraps and the class was only 300 B wich is an ok price, seing how most places want 500 for a single day.
(which is way too much!)
th eowner took us through the basics and found deep flaws in every move i had. it was good but really humbling, i felt like i didn't know shit.. at all.
but if i could get that detal of corection once a month or so, i'd totaly switch over to this gym. i guess just another reason to move to ching mai
after that i got pulled into the ring to do some pad work, and the coaches were nice, but pushed me hard. it took a bit to figure ou thee rithom and what they wanted but it was ok.
they alkso did something i haven't seen since fiartex in the usa when the last 30 sec they push you really hard, then pushups between rounds.
after 3 round i was preaty beat and did some bag work, but got called into the ring for clench work , where like always i got my as anded to me, but did lear a bit, and got to trrain witha really nice, way ripped thai kid. i think i got a bit more respect from them becaue each time i was slamed into the flor, i just jumped up smiled and whent back at it..
afterthat i when to work my kicks on the bag but got called in to the outher rind and told to put my gloves on, so i did and a very stern thai guy wanted to spare.. oh fuck, now i was regretting having my outher guyms name on my thai shorts..
i started out expecting him to just work slow tec work, well after the first hard as fuck kick to the side i knew that wasn't the deal, he pummled the fuck out of me, amnd i came close a few time s to cursing hi8m out in thai, but i just kept getting up each time my legs were kicked out from under me, trying to recompose myself each time the wind was knocked out of me, and trying not to lo to see if i hada bloody nose yet, though i could tell he was going easy with the punches..
that when on for about 20 min,
i got in a few good hard kicks and push kicks, which I always apoligised form and asked if it hurt and if he was ok, it seemed i finaly broke the ice with him and i think he got bord with knocking the wind out of me, or kicking welts into my shins...
the restvof the time he, like most people at the gym want to ask me questions about Kim, and like everyone ealse in Asia they won't acept the idea that she's not my girlfriend. or wife
and everywhere we go people are telling us how nice we are togeather and asking when well have babys or insisting onhow cute they'll be, much to Kims horror.
what an insane world. anyways SHe trained with a crazy old dude, and i even had a student come up and warn me about him, he kept tryiong to dance with her and ask her out.. what a nut job..
anyways, i'm still sore as fuck , and quite beaten up, not sure yet if i'm going to go train again, Kim wants to.. but i'm not sure.. but still have a few hours to figure that out....
